9 weeks.

I have been trying for 9 WEEKS to get this blog started. Longer than that even. I originally wanted to start a blog to document the birth and growth of my son, Hunter Daniel. When I was still pregnant, I chose this domain name and the background and I had great intentions to blog my thoughts on Hunter's arrival. I really should have started writing here before he was born, because figuring out how to add this into my life after he was born has been difficult.

But today I was reminded how much I love to write. I love to journal my thoughts. Writing actually helps me to understand what it is I am feeling. I haven't written in months-- years even-- and a part of my soul has been left undiscovered because of the hiatus.

So with new energy I came back to this blog today with a broadened purpose for its existence. I still want to document my son's life here. I have tons of family and I live near none of them. I hope this will help keep us in touch and allow my family to know Hunter a little bit. But I also hope to use this blog as a place to document my feelings, thoughts, insights, and places where I am growing.

So Hello, Blog. I hope we can become good friends.
